I have geocached (is that a verb?) before. We used it as an activity when I was a Guider and we took our Pathfinders camping. It was very fun, though I don’t remember what website we used. I did download the app and there are a few in my area, but given the current restrictions … Continue reading 23 Things: Thing 17 – Geolocation Tools →

23 Things: Thing 16 – OneNote/ClassNotebook
I haven’t used OneNote very much but more recently (due to COVID-19) I have been using the Staff Notebook portion of Teams a lot. I like that it has sections that can be shared amongst the whole group and sections that are just between myself and my supervisor. I’ve found it intuitive and easy to … Continue reading 23 Things: Thing 16 – OneNote/ClassNotebook →
23 Things: Thing 15 – Digital Curation
I used to use Tumblr all the time but haven’t been back there in an eon. Anyway here is a link to a Tumblr in my field Books & Libraries
Thing 13: Video
Well, friends, the world sure looks different than it did when I last posted. These next two things (Thing 13 is video and Thing 14 is audio) are now incredibly topical as everyone who works in a university adjusts to teaching and learning online. For thing thirteen, we are asked to choose one of three… Read more Thing 13: Video
Thing 11 and 12
I’m sooo glad to see something about copyright in this course as it is so important to understand and respect the work people have done. Someone has taken the time to think about, create and put out in the world something they think is important. This work should be respected and dealt with accordingly byContinue reading “Thing 11 and 12”
Thing 10
I have been using Wikipedia for years as a fist resource when helping customers in the library. It can be very helpful for understanding what a topic is about and/or to find primary sources for the topic at the bottom. It has evolved over the years to be well respected overall & is especially timelyContinue reading “Thing 10”
Thing 9
It’s amazing how much things change in computer land in a few years! Google+ doesn’t look anything like how it is shown in the course:). We are using Microsoft Teams as the moment as a result of COVID-19 so I am going to stick with it.
23 Things: Thing 14 – Audio
I am pretty familiar with podcasts and SoundCloud. I go through phases of listening to ALL THE PODCASTS, or listening to none, there is no middle ground. I’m currently in a no podcast phase (I’ve been listening to audiobooks from the library though!). As for SoundCloud, Steel City Stories uses it to post some of … Continue reading 23 Things: Thing 14 – Audio →
23 Things: Thing 13 – Video
I have used Youtube for a long time, and there are several creators that I will even sit through ads for. What I didn’t know, since I’ve never uploaded anything is that there are different types of licences… or that Vimeo offers even more types of licences than Youtube. This kind of surprised me given … Continue reading 23 Things: Thing 13 – Video →
23 Things: Thing 12 – Open Educational Resources
I’d never heard of Open Educational Resources before, but I imagine that they are needed more than ever right now. I’m quite interested in the Radical Digital Literacy ORE from the University of Edinburgh. It may be one that I revisit at a…
23 Things: Thing 11 – Copyright
I now feel like I have a better understanding of Creative Commons copyright types (as well as a whole new resource for images for future projects and presentations). I try to be pretty aware of what I can reuse but it is nice to have a space where the rules for reuse are spelled out. … Continue reading 23 Things: Thing 11 – Copyright →
Thing 9 – Google Hangouts
I’ve not used Hangouts before but it’s very similar to WhatsApp, which I use regularly to talk to overseas family. What a fun app. I love the cute little ponies and the shy dinosaur – just wish I could send them in a message! My daughter and I had fun chatting between two rooms in …
